PIA4820
The PIA4810 is a power supply
controller capable of analog and digital
control. It is equipped with the GPIB and
RS-232C interfaces and 4 slots, which

control boards to be installed. A control
board is capable of analog control of 2
channels of DC power supplies or
electronic loads; a total of 8 channels can
be controlled.
Moreover, DC power supplies with a
digital remote-control function, such as
the Kikusui PMR Series, can be directly
connected to the PIA4810 via a TP-BUS
(twisted pair bus), enabling a maximum
of 31 channels to be controlled digitally.
PIA4820 is an expansion unit that can be
connected to the PIA4810 or PIA4830
via a TP-BUS to provide additional
control channels. In the same way as
the PIA4810, it allows a maximum of 4
control boards to be installed.
Then it is possible to use up to 3 units
of PIA4820 as an expansion that can be
connected to the PIA4810 via the TP-
BUS, the system is capable of controlling
a maximum of 32 channels. Moreover,
the combined use of the GPIB and TP-
BUS allows the system to control a
maximum of 448 channels.
PIA4830 is a power supply controller
only for digital control. It is capable of
digitally controlling a maximum of 31
channels of Kikusui PMR Series DC
power supplies via the TP-BUS.
OP01-PIA and OP02-PIA are control
boards designed exclusively for the
PIA4810 and PIA4820. A single control
board is capable of analog control of 2
channels of DC power supplies or
electronic loads. The OP01-PIA is a full-
control board with voltage and current
setting and read-back functions, while
the OP02-PIA has only the voltage and
current setting feature.
